Raspberries Go All the Way / I Wanna Be with You Tonight

DLR-era VH and anybody willing to have a lotta mostly empty paper cups rain down on them, like Robert Fleischman, the Cats, Rail, and (then-unsigned) Autograph.

+1 to those mentioned so far. I'd add: The Outlaws - Bring It Back Alive. "Freeborn Man" is one of my fave tracks off that one.

You may be thinking of the TM60's 1/4" headphone output -- the direct out is XLR.

The weekend was a Marvelous 3 binge, thanks to Stike, Poe, Cmatthes, and the master of DWTM ceremonies, Elduave!

To Hamer's credit, I believe they know that marketing-wise, they couldn't compete with the likes of Ibanez/Jackson/Charvel. Hamer is probably smart to stay away from that segment.

HHB -- you have my sincere condolences. My Mom is in hospice care these days, and I hope you take this in the spirit it's intended when I say to you that my Mom envies your Mom! As much as I cherish every minute with her, even the difficult ones, it pains me to see her suffer so. Hang in there. Mitch

Heresy but +1. The "Diary" record did sound better than "Blizzard", though. Yes, with Def Lep opening in support of High & Dry. When he played part of Eruption verbatim during his solo section, it was a bit of a letdown. I cried the day RR died, but I never felt he was in the same galaxy as EVH. YMMV.

The RIAA numbers, for what they're worth... Top Artists Top Albums

+1 for Ozone, which is now certifiably "dreamy". Although not a plug-in per se, I'm tempted to get Melodyne Cre8, which looks like a lot of fun.

Christina Aguilera's track "The Voice Within" from "Stripped" -- great vocal with gobs of transparent compression. I think Christina has more than her fair share of issues, and she's a total fashion train wreck, but after my gal dragged me to a concert, it's clear Xtina can really sing, and without a guide track! What a concept! Not much jumps out at me from the rest of her catalog, but I do like that track.

I have a somewhat butchered Centaura that arrived with one, and I like it better than the JB. Just enough more ooomph, or more oom-pa-pa if you're playing a polka. Go for it! A little known factoid about the Distortion is that it is optimized for the Centaura's offset dots. I'm also a champion Sumo wrestler, appearing at the Budokan next Tuesday. And here's the Grail of good news for all us Centauralots: there's a significant mojo boost when you fill the electronics cavity with sand! Sweet! Surf's up!

Damn, Bill. Cool track.

Question: for those who voted "old way", have you tried the "View New Posts" link up near the top of the page near "My Controls"? You get a cross-board listing. Give it a whirl.
